I would look for a different therapist, one who is capable of understanding that there are many subcultures in life that seem fantastic and imaginary to mainstream culture. With therapists, I take in as much evidence as I can, and I explain that I know that much of it sounds too bizarre to be real, but if they don't believe me there is no point in going back.
As for the entertainment industry, it's shocking that someone would not understand that it's an entire ecosystem of its own, touching lives at every level. I was a housecleaner in Malibu, and I won't even mention the names of people because it sounds unbelievable; but honestly, everyone has toilets that need to be cleaned, even hollywood legends. I can imagine if your family was involved in the business end, that those people would be a regular part of your life.
